KHIZ Check

[Diamond Jim]

Tony,

If you don't think this is the right area, please put it where you think it should go.Thanks, Jim.

This a request for information about KHIZ, an independent station from Barstow, Ca located at G17(G11-GB), C Band, FR 4092, SR 2170, Horizontal.

Would any of you please go to this location and let me know if you have any problems picking up this station. I have watched this station for a few years and never had any problems until lately. I have my Trazis 3500 slaved through a Motorola 922, when I go to this station the Traxis says "no signal." I change my polarity from plus to minus and the signal will start flickering off and on, then lock on. Now fast forward to another time of day, I go back to the station and it says no signal again, I reverse the polarity from minus to plus with the above results. Sometimes I reverse the polarity and then go back to the way it was and the signal comes in.

This no big deal, I am just curious as to way this is happening. All of the other horizontal signals come in with no problems.

 

[Mr Tony]

Its the right spot

I know the last couple days its shows a "Direct jewelry" or something on the screen. I'll check tonight but I havent seen legit programming on it in a few days

 

[Diamond Jim]

They run infomericals up until 4pm Eastern (1 Pacific) then regular programing begins. It's more or less a B type programing station, every now and then they have something worth watching on it.

Working fine right now in MN. Just programmed it in on the Visionsat

68 quality and Cheaters is on

 

[Mr Tony]

oh and the thing with the slate is on 4005 H 2170. My mistake

 

[Diamond Jim]

Thanks Tony. Once it comes in, it's a good signal, just getting it to lock on is the problem.

 

[Mr Tony]

mine takes a couple seconds to lock and come in on the Visionsat and the Coolsat 8000

I'm talking minutes.

I scanned it into the Q and there are no problems. Turn the Q off, on, change channels, excetra and it comes on with no problem. So, that tells me the problem is in the Traxis. I did a hard and a soft reboot with no results. I did discover that when I go to the channel and it tells me "no signal," if I power the 3500 down then power back up and it pops right on. So....What do you think.

 

[Mr Tony]

Does the Traxis allow you to put in a FEC manually? Sometimes boxes that you can set the FEC have issue with channels (although the 8000 has that option and I just leave them always on Auto)

 

[Diamond Jim]

I don't think so. I assume that it would be on the edit screen, but I don't remember seeing there.
